A dangerous confession

Lately, I've been addicted to the online game Lineage 2 (you should too, tell me what character you are wor so we can play together). I now can play on the North American servers thanks to the support team at Lineage (they are good and effiecnet too). I usually find the service in NA is slower, like the response time is slow. This especially from the gov't. But in HK, gov't ppl are one of the fastest. And if you give some stupid reason, they even wavie your late tax bill penalty ga!!! heheh. but that's another story.

I'm still pretty new to the game (actually to the whole online game concept ah), but starting to manage a little bit lu. Last night because I'm a weak guy, I walk far from the city so won't get attack by other people la. And I saw somethings beside a rock. So I pick it up. hor hor hor, it's was the most expensive armor, sword, bows and other stuffs. hhahahahha. So I quickly look around and seeing no one is there, I pick, and ran!!!!

I feel bad that someone put their stuff down for a sec (actually hid it too), and hhw came along and pick up all their stuff for FREE ah! I never went back to that place just incase.... cos a good theif don't return to the scene of the crime ga ma. hee hee hee.

I wonder who left their stuffs there ne? Then I remember a kid in HK jump off a building because his weapons are stolen...... ahhhhhhh dim suen ah!

To go or not to go?


Hmm, maybe it's me but I can never go to the washroom anywhere except my house and also my hotel room (when I'm on trip la of course). So when I have to go, I usually hold it in me ga >_<. Unless I really have to go or I will sxxt my pants. Then I will go to the toilet na. Here's the man's room in my office. I really admired those people who can go to the toilet and just sit there relaxed and for a long time.

Do I have a Girl Friend?

No la I don't ah. So if any of you who wanted to date me, pls do so by leaving me a comment to this post la! So why I suddenly ask? because today while I was in MK (Mong Kok),  there's this auntie (30+ year old la), don't look like a crazy woman ga wor. Suddenly tap my shoulder and ask "Si-san, do you have a girl friend ah?"....

Do I really look that lonely.....?

Sammi VS Sammi


Went to Sammi Cheung's concert the other night. I pay $100 ($18.8CDN) for my seat which is the cheapest available and also the highest. As you can see, since HK is so small, even the highest seat, you are still close to the stage! heheh. Sammi is in the center of the stage. Don't know if you can see her law. But the concert sucks. I now have high hope for ANDY LAU's concert nxt month! yeah!!!!

Should I get the newspaper or get a CD with change?


This is sad. When your Cd sells for $5 dolloar! (That's not even $1 CDN ah! only 90 cents!) A newspaper in HK sells for $6 dollar. hahaha. But I don't know why, but when I saw this I kept laughing! hahha, but then I think that if I am a singer and have a CD, it will also be charge $5 dollar too... then I cry.

Hmmm, what had HHW been up to?

Hehehe, I haven't posted for quite awhile la, most mainly is because I've been playing an online game ah! It's call Lineage2. I brought the HK version and started playing, then I found out I can't seem to log on to the North American server wor!!! ( actually just wanted to go to a server that my brother Danny can log on to in Toronto) So I started asking them how to play with Danny on the same server la.

Subject: Playing on a server in North America or vice versa

hhw: Hello, I'm a player in Hong Kong. I wanted to play with my brother who is in Canada. Is it possible that we can play on the same server? Me playing on a N.A. Server or him playing on an Asia Server? Is so what is the procedure? Or do I have to download the N.A. inorder to do that?
( Danny laughed that i said i'm a PLAYER in HK. he's soooo immature) hee hee

Nelson: Hi Raymond,
It would be better to play on NA Server, if you both wants to play together on the same server. Take care.
Regards.

hhw: However, how do i log on to the NA server? because when I log in from Hong Kong, The only servers i get is all in chinese from 01 to 19. There's no place where i can select the NA servers. What should I do?

Adora: Hello Raymond,
I am escalating your ticket up to a Senior Customer Support Representative to further assist you. Someone will be in contact with you as soon as possible.
Take care.

GM Paazlar : Hi Raymond,
In order to access the North American servers, you will need to purchase the North American retail version of Lineage ][ and create an account. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

.... now after i spend my $88HKD ($16CDN), they tell me that. so I bug them again now with how to pay the online fee. after that I'm all set!!!!

Lineage 2 is sooooo addictive, when I got home, I don't icq or check email anymore! yeah! heheheh.

Mine? or no?


Talked to Dad a couple of days ago and he kindna hinted me that we could get a dog if I wanted (Hope that's what he hinted la). So today, being so excited, me and c-lai when to the SPCA (i think it was in that order) to check out some doggie to adapt. I used to have a black puppy (for 1 day, long story so won't tell la). So I aim for black dog only, or mostly black. There was one I wanted from checking out the site. But when I got there, the dog have such serious attitude thing going on wor, he didn't even pay attention to me. It's fine, cos he's the one that got lock in a cage and nes pas moi! So we check around and saw alot of very cutie puppy eyes from the dogs. They all wanted freedom (except the one I wanted). Then I saw this girl! HO CUTIE X 10! I took a photo of her (which wasn't allow! so good for camera phone, hee hee), then got to carry her and stuff. So "Ghy" (very good behaviour) too and of course pay attention to me la. hee hee.
 
Anyway, will show dad once he came back to HK and see if he really mean to get a dog. cos this little girl grow to a mid-size dog ga. (Smaller than a golden retriever, but bigger than a poddle la) Cross finger for me! hee hee.  Hmmm, now what should I name her?

Hey, for those of you who don't know Chinese, here's what the WANTED ad said la.
If you are over 120 lb and with a waist bigger than 28", YOU are qualify to be our spoke fatperson!!! "Don't mind if you are Fat, only mind if you don't show up!" hee hee, quite funny.
 
But in reality it's not ga. HK ppl are freakingly obessesed with their weight now lu. There's another WANTED ad like this just this pass week, and the result are: 2000+ phone calls (around 127 tonnes of meat) to register and 600+ people (at least 38 tonnes of meat) lined up in cwb (casuewaybay) to be interview for this job. And get this, to be qualify ne, you have to have some sad sad story. If you are a happy fat person, sorry, get out of the way for the sad fatties!!! Most women are like 140-160lb, but of course la, some are like elephant la (but some are only 120 jet), but there's this guy who's competely shameless!!! 295lb, and he said he is much much better looking than the average Joe out there wor.  He said he's tall, face is good, if he lost weight, he will be supermodel gor chet ah! ~_~  His ideal weight is 100lb.... (even a girl who weight like this is bone la,  a guy weighting just 100lb ask for the whole world to beat the crap outta him)....... oh, and even though he's not that ugly, he still not average looking law.  But enough about him, some candiates lost their husband to other women because they are fat!
So I wait now eagerly to see which candiates they choose. Remember there are over 2600+ (165 tonnes, at least) applicatant ga.
 
Speaking of dieting, I lost 2 more lbs! making me 138! hee hee. (See! HK people are obessesed about their weight)

Typhoon 8


Yah, the Typhoon #8 is on so that mean no work! Yeah! We have a system here in HK that if it's Typhoon 8 or above, no work no nothing! hehe, very jan. Here's me on my taxi ride back into Central. Me and a couple co-worker are going to Central to have Viet food. Tasty!!! The 1st one is facing the skyline of HK, which can barely see la. It's all clouds and stuff. The second one is we are stuck in the traffic in central. You can see Bank of China in the middle that's kinda like a knife shape ga. Oh and about the arrow pointing to that ECO thing. That's where the taxi driver supposed to put his taxi licence on. So where is it? It's not there!!!! Our taxi driver is not a taxi driver ne ga!!!!! He just drive this taxi today for someone else! hahha. Maybe our taxi is actually a stolen one?

Only in chinese places where you could have this PROUD!


It looks freaking ugly!!!! hahaha. But the thing that's holding by my chopstick is actually beef noodle. Not beef with noodle wor, it's beef meat noodle!!!! It looks like intenstines of some small animal (like mouse), but I did had goose intenstines tonight. Yum! (What is it with this intenstine obsession of mine?) hehe, anyway, the pork bone hot pot was awesome. Jan!!! The girl that got her face covered is Janet (my editor) and the other girl is Nada la.

Money that's good luck


Here is my lucky money. My friend (co-worker) gave this to me ga. It's Kuwit money ne ga. It's from 1968. You can actually know the year by reading the number from the left hand side. Nada (my co-worker) said her wallet was stolen, and when found the next day by police, only this bill was left. I told her that then this bill musta mean no money at all. hee hee. But anyway, I keep it now, cos it will bring me good good luck!!!

Wai Wai Chi Long


My sword my sword! I got it in my Kendo class today la! The class was ok la. Actually thought I would be more happy getting the sword, but I'm just ok with it jet. I will name my swork "Wai Wai Chi Long"! yeah!!! King ah.

I want to smell like a .... A NEW CAR

If I can have a scent, it will be a new car smell. I totally get addicted to it. And I really am ga. The other night I was on a bus back from cwb (causeway bay) to ssp (shamshuipo), and the bus was new!!!! the stair is big and grand! and the upperdeck is even full of a new car smell!!! I kept sniffing all the air so I can treasure it somehow. I think a part of it is still in my lung. hee hee. So what's new car smell? hit the title of this blog and you will see. Apparently ne, it can cause cancer ga wor, but you know, everything cause cancer, so tell me something I don't know.

But if you really need to have new car smell, but no new car, here's an alternative that I found out. New electric like tv, radio, etc have that smell to ga. But not 100% same around 85%. so that's an alternative. Also Vents on top of TV will have that smell too. I sometime sniff my TV ga! Try it! but the smell gets weak after awhile, and if the TV is on too long, the smell changes too. so it's best when TV is on for about 10 min, then it's good! Let's TRY!

I wish they invent new car smell soon, cos I'm lonely. hee hee

Box, Bag and Paper

Here I go again lu. I finished eating my lunch (rice box -- HK style), I think HK style rice box is the ultimate, no other fast food can compare to it ah! EVER!!!! cos basically you can have anything in it. It's full of variety la and just full of warmth. Today, I have minced beef + raw egg on rice, then tomorrow can have fried Ramen (instant noodle) w/ ham and spam!!! yummy yum!

It also comes in a box not in a bag or just paper wrapped. I remember going to Taiwan and (SOME) drinks that put into a plastic bag and a straw sticking out of it, noodle soup are also put into a plastic bag. The presentation is really bad (cos usually the soup and noodle mixed together making it looks like a vomit bag with vomit INSIDE! ) hee hee. but you know what, it's freaking tasty!!! just tasty, I usually empty out the "vomit" bag, but if it not tasty you can always throw that bag and splash the hell out of the cook like a water balloon!!!!! hehhe, actually that's fun. You can't do that w/ a rice box though. It just don't have all that drama. And paper wrap stuff like McD... I don't know, just convienent gar, but it don't have that kindna protection. Feels very empty and light inside.

For now, I'm sticking to my rice box!

Hmmm, I wonder where they go to school?

I work on a magazine for a bank in Hong Kong (starts with Heng). They are currently doing a story on Sapa. A village in Vietnam.

Here's what they wanted the picture to be: Show the cultural people there, the village native people and surroundings. After I gave them the photos, here's their questions...

"How come those village people looks so poor? Very dirty village place wor... Do you have some modern looking village people?" WTF X 10!!!

Damn! I knew it! I shouldna choose the one where the village native people was driving their BMW, carrying their Parda and throwing out their last season's Gucci (even though it was designed by Tom Ford). I have no idea how come my clients are just dumb. It's a freaking village ne ga ma!!!! Of course there's mud, farmland and people that are not in Gucci ga la. so dumb.

Whew~ that felt better. I hope I won't meet any people that will work in a bank. Or I can't back talk them law. hee hee. (oh, except Michael. He's the only cool guy that actually work in a bank (TD? is it?) FOR the people!!!) hee hee

Kendo at a Street Market

I finally pick up and join Kendo la. It's in a Street Market (Guy Si) building ga. It's on the 5th floor and inside a gym. It's used to like Ball room dancing and stuff. cos i saw aunties and uncles going in and shake their 40+ years old bon bon. Anyway, it was kindna fun. The instructor said there's alot of new people wor. So the gym is way too small for the class. I will get the sword nxt class la. Will of course should u guy on the blog la. But the sword reminded me of the Chicken-feather-brush that my mom used to hit me with everyday except it have no feathers and not as thick la. But I still remember the hate and power in my mom's eyes!!!

I over heard that most student don't last 3 mths then they are gone! I somehow added myself to that list. hee hee.

At work

How much time do you really spend of work during work hours?

I usually take a break every 20 minute to chat w/ my coworkers la for about 5 minutes or so. so that in 1 hr, i will have 10 minute off ga. Then another 5 to 10 minute per hour to talk on icq and online (like writing this), then around 5 minute to get water and washroom per hours. so in 1 hour, i usually have 25 minute off. hee hee. but i'm sure you guys will have about the same off time as me. OR MORE. I personally think Dabbler have the most lazy time! haa haa haa. Do the post on the right so to let me know la.

Blame it on Levi's

I got this pair of Levi's which is a combination of buttons (2) and then underneath it is a zipper. I only buttoned the buttons and assume that's all there is to it. Then I went on the MTR (TTC's subway) and STAND for the whole 40 minutes!!! Then at work I find out I forgot to zip up my zipper!!! >_< Ho Embrassing ah!!!!

I hate copy controlled CDs!!!!

I hate it, I hate it!!! >_< Now after I buy the cd, I can't load it into my computer and listen to it while working!!! (I need the CD-Rom to load other cds), what's worst is that sometime my mac's stupid cd rom won't play the disc! The player included in these CD are for PC tim ah, so no use to me. Then at home because I don't have a stereo, I can't play the Cd on my laptop tim! arghhh, wasting my money. So now if i see the Cd w/ the Copy controlled, I try not to buy lu. They should have more user friendly CD law. Like at least make it playable in the oldest MAC CD Rom ma..... Geeeesshh.

Doing Personal Training w/ my trainer tonight. Sigh, I'm so going to faint.
